The present study represents a taxonomic revision of the    Pheidole   sikorae    species group from Madagascar. Forty-four members of this group are recognised and described, and an illustrated identification key to this group is also presented. One species is raised to species level:    P.   litigiosa    Forel, 1892  stat. nov.    Pheidole   veteratrix   angustinoda    Forel, 1892  syn. nov.  is proposed as a junior synonym of    Pheidole   veteratrix    Forel, 1891. Worker castes are also described and lectotypes designated for    P.   litigiosa    Forel, 1892,    P.   sikorae    Forel, 1891, and    P.   veteratrix    Forel, 1891. The following 41 new species are described:    P.   alina    sp. nov. ,    P.   ambohimanga    sp. nov. ,    P.   analavelona    sp. nov. ,    P.   andohahela    sp. nov. ,    P.   anomala    sp. nov. ,    P.   anosyenne    sp. nov. ,    P.   antranohofa    sp. nov. ,    P.   beanka    sp. nov. ,    P.   befotaka    sp. nov. ,    P.   dasos    sp. nov. ,    P.   flavominuta    sp. nov. ,    P.   gracilis    sp. nov. ,    P.   haboka    sp. nov. ,    P.   havoana    sp. nov. ,    P.   hazo    sp. nov. ,    P.   itremo    sp. nov. ,    P.   joffreville    sp. nov. ,    P.   kely    sp. nov. ,    P.   lavasoa    sp. nov. ,    P.   mahamavo    sp. nov. ,    P.   mainty    sp. nov. ,    P.   mamiratra    sp. nov. ,    P.   manantenina    sp. nov. ,    P.   masoandro    sp. nov. ,    P.   mavohavoana    sp. nov. ,    P.   midongy    sp. nov. ,    P.   mikros    sp. nov. ,    P.   mivory    sp. nov. ,    P.   nitidobruna    sp. nov. ,    P.   parvula    sp. nov. ,    P.   parvulogibba    sp. nov. ,    P.   renirano    sp. nov. ,    P.   sava    sp. nov. ,    P.   sofia    sp. nov. ,    P.   sparsa    sp. nov. ,    P.   tampony    sp. nov. ,    P.   trichotos    sp. nov. ,    P.   tsaravoniana    sp. nov. ,    P.   vadum    sp. nov. ,    P.   volontany    sp. nov. , and    P.   vony    sp. nov.  At present, there are 109 valid species and subspecies of    Pheidole    known from Madagascar, but this number is expected to increase with upcoming taxonomic revisions of the species groups not revised in this study.
